We are pleased to announce Håvard Homstvedt's first solo exhibition, The Close-In, at Perry Rubenstein Gallery, opening October 17th in all three gallery spaces. Homstvedt's paintings and sculptures focus on materiality and surface, highlighting the process as an integral moment of the final work. Painted over time in layers of oil and acrylic or cast in bronze Homstvedt's paintings and sculptures conjure a visual record of fragmented memories. His practice draws attention to artisan construction and staging possibilities through the fragments of forms and characters depicted. The Norwegian born artist was featured in this year's Statements at Art Basel 39. The Close-In will be on view until November 26.
On September 19th, Jesper Just's solo exhibition, Romantic Delusions, has opened at the Brooklyn Museum. The exhibition features a new film, Romantic Delusion, which debuted at the Copenhagen Quadrennial U-turn. Other exhibitions in the fall include Made Up, the Liverpool Biennial, Unknown Pleasures at the Aspen Art Museum in Aspen, CO and Damaged Romanticism at Blaffer Gallery, Houston, TX.
Robin Rhode's major solo exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, curated by Stephanie Rosenthal, opened October 7th. The show consists of works in all media from 2003 to the present, along with an outdoor project for the Undercroft area of the Southbank Centre. Other upcoming shows and projects include a site-specific installation for Prospect.1 New Orleans, the New Orleans Biennial, directed by Dan Cameron.
In December, Daniel Rich will have his debut show at Perry Rubenstein Gallery in the 527 W 23rd Street space. Concurrently, Peter Callesen will have his first U.S. solo show at Perry Rubenstein's 534 W24th Street gallery.
